who to share with in a student flat
with a bit of luck you should have been living in the University’s halls of residence.after that first year you have to make a decision of who to live with in your second and hopefully other years.
During that year you will have hopefully developed a network of friends that you can leverage to find the ideal group of people to share with for the next year and other years. It is a difficult decision.
usually one or two students take the initiative and find a house with a student lettings agent nottingham, put down a holding deposit on a house to rent. The property is then reserved and gives the initiators time to find the remaining members of the house. This can be done either by putting the word out through your network of friends or advertising on the university’s notice boards, both real and online.
You are better off as the initiator.That way you get to pick where you live and who you want to live with. When choosing your housemates start with a bit of self-analysis. Think about what type of people would fit in with your personality. Plan the process before you start. Try and build up the household gradually, one person at a time. When you have selected one person invite them to help you interview the next possible person and so on. This way you give yourself the best chance of ending up with a group of like minded people.
questions to ask when interviewing prospective housemates:
What is your attitude towards housework?
What type of music are you in to?
Are you sure you can pay for your share of the rent?
Do you smoke regularly?
Do you like to drink mid week or just at the weekend?
do you cook?
It will also be great if you find students from the same course as you. You will be able to share work and also each other with work. Although you may get bored with seeing each other in at university all the time and at home.
